They provide specialized care and support to people who have been tortured. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We both work in our own way to deliver medical care to those in need; Golda through her GP work in the impoverished neighborhoods of East End London and Marc through his work with M&eacute;decins sans Fronti&egrave;res (aka Doctors without Borders). We've chosen Freedom from Torture because they provide both <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">direct</em> services to torture survivors and they raise their voice against the injustice of torture itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Here&rsquo;s more:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Freedom from Torture (formerly the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture), has been working for 25 years to provide direct clinical services to survivors of torture who arrive in the UK as well as striving to protect and promote their rights.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The unique care and support they provide is enormously important in helping torture survivors recover. So is the knowledge that there are people like you, who want to support them. Every donation that they receive not only helps to provide essential care, but also sends a vital message of hope to every torture survivor.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
